Say it with us: ahhh. This serene-hunting summertime property on stilts (we’;re sensing a theme right here) on a Norwegian island is eminently covetable. Who does not want to vacate somewhere peaceful and relatively remote? Developed by Oslo-based mostly architecture office Lund Hagem Arkitekter—whose tiny concrete summer season house we profiled last week—this 807-square-foot (75 square meters) pad replaces an older construction on the site. Named Cabin Lille Arøya, the residence is a summertime escape for an interior architect, an artist, and their 2 little ones, reports Dezeen.

Set on the coast in the little southern Norwegian town of Helgeroa (population: one,573, combined with neighboring village Nevlunghavn!), the laminated-wood-and-steel home is 1 long, low volume. Stilts supply the foundation for the summertime residence, which can only be accessed via boat. Inside, straightforward, rustic spaces with wood floors and broad glass windows generate the kind of cozy, streamlined interiors we have come to anticipate from Scandinavian designers.
